Antwerp Pride 2025

Time to sashay and parade through the city in a positive and festive atmosphere during Antwerp Pride!

Pride is protest, more important than ever in this time! What better way to protest than to show who we are and what we stand for in all our beautiful colors during Antwerp’s Pride celebrations.

The Parade starts at 2:00 PM and immediately dives into the Brouwersvliet and then heads towards the Scheldt. The route then goes along the river and at the Sint-Jansvliet where we make a turn into the Kloosterstraat, past the statue of Peter the Great – under whose rule Russia was still tolerant of homosexuality – into the Scheldestraat and then towards the grounds of the Love United Festival on the Cockerillkaai where the party can get going. It’s a fantastic way to join Antwerp Pride.

If you’re coming to watch the parade, there are great views from anywhere along the route, so spread out along the route to cheer on your favorite floats! For the exact route, check out our map!

But what if it gets hot at Antwerp Pride?!

No problem, we have a plan! Water points will be provided throughout the parade, thanks to the support of Waterlink, so you can stay hydrated throughout the day. These can also be found on our map. So be sure to bring a non-disposable bottle, so you can slay the day! Be sure to bring a parasol or a hat, and apply plenty of sunscreen to those pretty legs! Prevention is always the best option while enjoying Antwerp Pride.

There are certainly enough shady spots along the Parade, especially at the Oudeleeuwenrui, Brouwersvliet and the Kloosterstraat, making your day at Antwerp Pride comfortable.
